Nerve sheath myxoma: a clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 57 morphologically distinctive, S-100 protein- and GFAP-positive, myxoid peripheral nerve sheath tumors with a predilection for the extremities and a high local recurrence rate

Epithelioid hemangioma of the penis: a clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 19 cases, with special reference to exuberant examples often confused with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and epithelioid angiosarcoma

..It needs to be distinguished from Rosai-Dorfman disease, juvenile xanthogranuloma, a variety of granulomatous conditions, and some malignant neoplasms, including histiocytic sarcoma, melanoma, and epithelioid sarcoma...

Palmar-plantar fibromatosis in children and preadolescents: a clinicopathologic study of 56 cases with newly recognized demographics and extended follow-up information

..Thirty-two of 38 patients (84.2%) with clinical follow-up, ranging from 4 months to 33 years (mean, 14 years 9 months; median, 16 years 1 month), had one (n = 16) or more (n = 16) local recurrence of their fibromatosis...

Epithelioid hemangioma of the penis: a clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical analysis of 19 cases, with special reference to exuberant examples often confused with epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and epithelioid angiosarcoma

..Superficial leiomyosarcomas of the penis are optimally managed by wide local excision whenever this is technically feasible. Tumors with a deep-seated component may require more aggressive intervention to ensure complete removal...

..None of the 16 tumors from 15 patients had a KIT exon 9, 11, 13, or 17 or PDGFRA exon 12 or 18 mutation as is typically seen in sporadic GISTs, indicating that GISTs in NF1 patients have a different pathogenesis than sporadic GISTs...

..All 13 non-synovial sarcomas tested were negative for SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2 fusion transcripts. This method is a relatively simple and rapid procedure for the detection of the t(X;18)(p11.2;q11.2)...

..Most TC-L lesions are closely aligned with primary normophosphatemic or secondary TC. Acral TC-L lesions may be the first manifestation of scleroderma, where the process has the potential to follow an unrelenting course...

..Benign GCT involving superficial soft tissue of the penis can be adequately managed by a simple excision. Patients with microscopically involved surgical margins can be clinically followed without immediate additional surgery...
